An Accessory Spleen in Adrenal Region Mimicking as An Incidentaloma: Case Report And Literature Review

Year 2017, Volume: 1 Issue: 1, 2 - 8, 01.01.2017

Abstract

Adrenal incidentalomas are often discovered incidentally after an
imaging procedure unrelated to the adrenal gland. A patient with an
accessory spleen as an adrenal incidentaloma was reported with
current endocrine and radiological evaluations.
A 53-year-old man was referred to Endocrinology unit with a mass
which is 25x20 mm diameter left surrenal region. This mass is
founded in a sonographic examination which was performed for
dispeptic complaints. The biochemical and hormonal analyses of the patient were within normal limits. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed to make a definitive diagnosis as the computerized
tomography imaging showed no malignant characteristics. The
incidentaloma in the left adrenal region has been found to be
consistent with an accessory spleen. Clinical and radiological evaluations of the patients with an accessory spleen in adrenal localization as an incidentaloma should be carefully performed.

Year 2017, Volume: 1 Issue: 1, 2 - 8, 01.01.2017

Abstract

Adrenal insidentalomalar sıklıkla adrenal bezle ilgisiz görüntüleme işlemlerinin ardından rastlantısal olarak bulunurlar. Aksesuar dalağa bağlı adrenal insidentaloma hastası güncel endokrin ve radyolojik yönetimle sunuldu. Elliüç yaşında erkek hasta dispeptik yakınmalar nedeniyle yapılan ultrasonografik incelemede bulunan 25x20 mm boyutlarında sol sürrenal kitle nedeniyle Endokrinoloji ünitesine sevkedildi. Hastanın biyokimyasal ve hormonal incelemeleri normal sınırlardaydı. Bilgisayarlı tomografi ve magnetik rezonans görüntülemeleri ile ayırıcı tanısı yapıldı. Görüntülerinde malignite özellikleri yoktu. Adrenal insidentaloma aksesuar dalakla uyumlu bulundu. Adrenal insidentaloma gibi görünen aksesuar dalaklı hastaların tanısal değerlendirilmesi klinik ve radyolojik yöntemlerle dikkatle yapılmalıdır.
